Iconic entertainer Whoopi Goldberg has heaped praise upon an animated Kiwi short film playing at the Tribeca Film Festival.
"I loved this film," exclaimed the Oscar-winner following a screening of Fire In Cardboard City, which was written by Radio Hauraki's Matt Heath and directed by Phil Brough.
The Kiwi film, which was eight years-in-the-making, screened in the animated shorts programme at the prestigious New York film festival over the weekend.
"This made me laugh!" Goldberg went on to say during a Q&A session with the film's director, Phil Brough, who attended the festival.
